Desserts needed to feed homeless men and women for Easter

The Charlotte Rescue Mission opens its doors, every year, on Easter to all those seeking food, comfort and hope. In addition to a great holiday meal, the Rescue Mission is collecting cakes, pies, cookies and other sweet treats for its annual Easter dessert drive. “We want everyone who comes to the Rescue Mission on Easter to receive a real taste of home,” says Rev. Tony Marciano, Executive Director of the Charlotte Rescue Mission. “There is just something special about a homemade dessert that makes you feel welcomed and loved.”

The Charlotte Rescue Mission served over 1,000 meals last Easter and hopes to feed even more this year. Fresh desserts can be dropped off at the Charlotte Rescue Mission, two the days before Easter. The Rescue Mission is located at Cedar and West First Street, diagonally opposite the Panthers Practice Fields.
